Wing loading is the weight the wing has to carry. Usually described for our models is ounces per square foot. Mass is different. The Cub and the Apprentice may in fact have similar wing loading but the Apprentice flies better because of a higher Reynolds Effect and higher mass. The Apprentice also has a more rigid structure that maintains those all important sdjustments better.
